Norway's EC - Seal Products Panel Request

Norway's panel request in the EC - Seal products case is here. From the request:

The EU seal regime imposes a general prohibition on the importation and sale of processed and unprocessed seal products in the EU, thereby depriving Norway of access to a significant market for its exports of these products. The EU seal regime contains certain exceptions that set forth conditions under which seal products may be placed on the EU market. However, these exceptions appear to discriminate in favour of seal products originating in the EU and in certain third countries.

There's a lot of overlap with the Canadian complaints, and the core of the complaints are the same, but there are a few differences as well.
